HALF-TIME Hibernian 2-0 Motherwellpublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 15 May
Can we call this a new manager bounce? Probably not, since it's David Gray's fourth time in the hotseat in just three years.
Still, the club legend is getting a tune out of this flaky Hibs squad.
Myziane Maolida calmly rolled home from the penalty spot after Stephen O'Donnell handled in the box, and Martin Boyle soon doubled the Hibs lead with a volley from Maolida's accurate cross.
Motherwell haven't offered much, but former Hearts man Sam Nicholson has picked up some good positions without seriously testing Jojo Wollacott.
Penny for Nick Montgomery's thoughts?

Kilmarnock 0-3 Celtic
Double Kilmarnock change as we get the second half started.
Liam Polworth and Joe Wright replace Kyle Vassell and Corrie Ndaba.
HALF-TIME St Johnstone 0-1 Ross Countypublished at 20:37 British Summer Time 15 May
This has been a real ding-dong battle, with both sides going for it - but it's County who have shown more cutting edge where it's mattered.
St Johnstone have created chances but they look timid in front of goal, and have missed a few glorious opportunities.
County have been dangerous on the break, have flown into challenges - and they have scored a superb goal through the individual brilliance of Yan Dhanda.
At the moment, it's enough to keep them up.

HALF-TIME - St Mirren 1-1 Heartspublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 15 May
St Mirren started on fire, taking the lead through James Scott - and they should have been further in front.
But they could not take advantage and Kyosuke Tagawa's neat finish hauled Hearts level.
It's not been great viewing since that equaliser, so let's hope for better after the break.

HALF-TIME Aberdeen 0-0 Livingstonpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 15 May
No goals in the first 45 minutes despite plenty of chances for the hosts and Cristian Montano's effort that was cleared off the line.
In a raft of changes to the starting XI, Peter Leven opted to keep Bojan Miovski on the bench. If the Dons' top scorer was playing from the off, you'd think this wouldn't be all square.

St Mirren 1-1 Hearts
Kyosuke Tagawa sneaks round at the back post and Alan Forrest finds him with a decent cross, but the Hearts striker blazes off target.
GOAL Hibernian 2-0 Motherwellpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 15 May
Martin Boyle
A well worked second goal from the home side.
Joe Newell slides lovely defence splitting ball down the left for Myziane Maolida, and the scorer turns provider, standing a cross up for the arriving Martin Boyle.
The Australian international doesn't connect sweetly with the side-foot volley, but despite the lack of power, it's placed sufficiently into the corner to beat Liam Kelly.

St Johnstone 0-1 Ross County
Will Nightingale is into the book for an atrocious chop challenge on the on-rushing Adama Sidibeh.
The County centre-back is lucky there were other defenders back.
GOAL Hibernian 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 20:27 British Summer Time 15 May
Myziane Maolida (pen)
After a brief VAR check, up steps Myziane Maolida, a ray of light in these bleak times for Hibs.
The forward coolly slots in his second penalty against the Steelmen in quick succession and takes his tally for the Leith side into double figures.
CLOSE!published at 20:27 British Summer Time 15 May
Aberdeen 0-0 Livinsgton
Livingston liven up and break forward with pace.
Nicky Devlin makes a great sliding clearance to swipe Cristian Montano's effort off the line.
Aberdeen almost made to pay for passing up a glut of chances.

St Johnstone 0-1 Ross County
Jane Lewis
BBC Scotland at MacDiarmid Park
What a huge goal that could be. Yan Dhanda thumped his effort into the back of the net with intent.
A great finish from the midfielder who'll be leaving the Highland side this summer.
Ross County know a win makes them safe. Their fans who've travelled in their numbers certainly enjoyed it and they're in full voice now.

Aberdeen 0-0 Livingston
Junior Hoilett, Graeme Shinnie, and James McGarry all pass up opportunities to open the scoring.
Aberdeen have now had eight shots, all from promising positions, but only one has been on target.
HALF-TIME Kilmarnock 0-3 Celticpublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 15 May
Goals from forward trio Adam Idah, Daizen Maeda and James Forrest have rampant Celtic cruising towards the title.
No shot on target so far for Kilmarnock, who have been blown away.

Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
Finally, 32 minutes in, Hibs show fleeting signs of a cutting edge.
Joe Newell unleashes a volley from distance, beaten away by Liam Kelly, before Martin Boyle's rasping drive from the edge of the box is deflected just wide.
GREAT SAVE!published at 20:19 British Summer Time 15 May
St Johnstone 0-1 Ross County
Dimitar Mitov is keeping St Johnstone in this.
George Harmon hits a piledriver from 20 yards that Mitov saves spectacularly.
It comes back to Simon Murray and the Bulgarian makes another smart reaction save - it would have been offside anyway.
Tepid fare in the capitalpublished at 20:18 British Summer Time 15 May
Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
Very little to write home about at Easter Road.
Hibs started brightly without fashioning a chance. Motherwell are now exerting some pressure, pilfering the ball in midfield and hitting the wayward hosts on the break.
Sam Nicholson looks the biggest threat right now, seeing two shots deflected wide from enticing positions, and then rising above Lewis Stevenson to nod at goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott.
Here's a good Idah - stump up the cash for big Adampublished at 20:17 British Summer Time 15 May
Kilmarnock 0-3 Celtic
Tom English
BBC Scotland's chief sports writer on Sportsound
This might be heresy, but could Adam Idah usurp Kyogo as Celtic's first-choice striker next season? If they stump up the cash to buy him, that is.
He's been very effective since his loan move began and he's been terrific tonight. One goal, one brilliant involvement in the James Forrest goal, strength and power, energy, a proper goal threat, a powerhouse in this match.
This is a really interesting one for Celtic now because he'll cost plenty but he's young and has buckets of potential. Could be five or six million very well spent.

Yan Dhanda
What a goal that is!
Yan Dhanda does it all himself, picking up outside the box, bouncing it off Jordan White, getting it back, running through a chasm in the Saints defence and lashing it past Dimitar Mitov.
That's a phenomenal finish.

This game is being played at quite the pace... Both sides getting forward and creating chances.
St Johnstone have wasted two glorious opportunities, while Ross County have been kept at bay by goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov.
